My Little Chess Player!

Grandpa created a lifesize chess board complete with lifesize (atleast to Eli) chess pieces. For family night, Jared and Grandpa played a game. They bearly got through one game until Eli took all the chess pieces off the board and moved them to the grass. They didn't dare start a second game.

Roses!

Grandma and Grandpa had the most beautiful roses in their garden. We took pictures of them and created collages. Click the design to see the pictures in more detail.

Playing on the Playground

I took Eli to the playground and all he wanted to play with was the woodchips. It wasn't until a few times later that he played on the slide and other things.

Happy Easter!

Eli's first Easter egg hunt happened today at Grandma and Grandpa Jansens' house with all the cousins and second cousins. Eli is hunting for eggs. Eventhough it looks like Eli knows what he is doing, he really didn't get it this year. However, he found two eggs and with help from his older cousin Breanna, he found all six. Running to get the egg, now that he has it, what does he do with it?

Little Fingers Like to Play

It seems as though everyone wanted to play the piano at Grandma Dana's house. We just had to admire the talent of these little fingers.

Love That Grandpa

Every Fall, Grandpa goes to trim the trees and this year, Eli went to help. Eli loves the outdoors and it is hard sometimes to get him inside. Good thing Grandpa has a good little helper.

Dirt for a One-Year Old.

Now that the weather is starting to warm up, Eli is having so much fun playing outside in the sandbox. If only the clean-up would be as simple the mess making.
